At other times, UK-wide, nations and international news should feature. The holder of an analogue local commercial radio licence may apply to Ofcom to have the station’s Format amended. Any application should be made using the layout shown on this form, and should be in accordance with Ofcom’s published procedures for Format changes. Under section 106(1A) of the Broadcasting Act 1990 (as amended), Ofcom may consent to a change of a Format only if it is satisfied that at least one of the following five statutory criteria is satisfied: (a) that the departure would not substantially alter the character of the service; (b) that the departure would not narrow the range of programmes available by way of relevant independent radio services to persons living the area or locality for which the service is licensed to be provided; (c) that the departure would be conducive to the maintenance or promotion of fair and effective competition (d) that there is evidence that, amongst persons living in that area or locality, there is a significant demand for, or significant support for, the change that would result from the departure; or (e) that (i) the departure would result from programmes included in the licensed service ceasing to be made at premises in the area or locality for which the service is provided, but (ii) those programmes would continue to be made wholly or partly at premises within the approved area (as defined in section 314 of the Communications Act 2003 (local content and character of services)). Only one of these five criteria need be satisfied in order for Ofcom to consent to the proposed change. However, even if Ofcom is of the opinion that the proposed change satisfies one or more of the statutory criteria, there may be reasons (depending on the particular circumstances of the case) why Ofcom may not consent to the proposed change. The additional criteria to which Ofcom will have regard when exercising this discretion can be found on our website. Applicants should note that, under section 106ZA of the same Act (as amended), a proposed change that does not satisfy the first or last of these criteria (i.e. a change that Ofcom considers would or could substantially alter the character of the service, or does not relate to the origin of locally-made programmes) must, if it is to be considered further under any of the other three criteria, be consulted upon. In the event that Ofcom receives a request for Format change and considers that criterion (a) or (e) is not satisfied, it will seek confirmation from the applicant as to whether it wishes to proceed with the request (and, if so, whether it wishes to amend or replace its submission in light of the necessity to make it public).# Please set out the statutory criterion, or criteria, set out in section 106(1A) of the Broadcasting Act 1990 that you believe is/are satisfied in relation to this Format change request, and the reasons for this. The request would not alter the character of the service. This request is to amend the Format so that it better reflects Ofcom’s revised localness guidelines. The request will permit programme sharing between the Channel Islands stations and includes an enhanced commitment to local news within the format. Please provide any additional information and/or evidence in support of the proposed change(s) below. In particular, the applicant may wish to outline how they see that the proposed change fits within Ofcom’s published Format change request policy and also Ofcom’s Localness guidance, which includes our co-location and programme sharing policy. Notes # Ofcom may approve a change under any of criteria (b) to (d) without consultation, or after a consultation of less than 28 days, if Ofcom considers that to hold a consultation at all, or for 28 days or more, would result in a delay that would be likely to prejudice the interests of the licensee. Ofcom may also remove for the purposes of consultation any confidential information submitted by the licensee. Data Protection We require the information requested in this form in order to carry out our licensing duties under the Broadcasting Act 1990, Broadcasting Act 1996 and Communications Act 2003. Please see Ofcom’s General Privacy Statement www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/foi- dp/general-privacy-statement for further information about how Ofcom handles your personal information and your corresponding rights. Ofcom notes on the request Statutory requirements This request relates to the FM licence for Jersey held by Channel Radio Limited, currently broadcasting as Channel 103. Every FM local commercial radio station is required to broadcast a service which complies with a defined ‘character of service’, and also a certain amount of locally-made programming and local news. These requirements are specified in its Format. Locally-made programmes are those made within a station’s licensed area or, where Ofcom has approved a wider area relating to that station, that ‘approved area.’ Channel Radio Limited has requested the following changes to the Format of the Jersey licence: • To reduce the required number of locally-made programming hours on weekday daytimes from ten to three, and from four to none on weekend daytimes. • To increase the number of local news bulletins from at least hourly at peak-time weekdays, to hourly during daytime weekdays and peak-time weekends. • To produce locally-made programming hours anywhere within the Ofcom approved area of the Channel Islands. • To share all local programming hours with the Guernsey licence. These proposed changes would change the character of service as set out in the Format of the licence, and accordingly can be agreed only if Ofcom is satisfied in regard to one of the statutory criteria set out in section 106(1A) of the Broadcasting Act 1990 (as set out in the request, above). If we are satisfied in relation to one of the statutory criteria, we are then able to decide whether or not to approve the request, taking account of our published policy criteria. Assessment With regard to the request to broadcast locally-made programming hours from anywhere within the approved area of the Channel Islands, Ofcom was satisfied in relation to section 106(1A)(e) of the Broadcasting Act 1990, on the basis that the change requested, if approved, would result in programmes included in the licensed service being made at premises within the Channel Islands approved area. In considering the proposed changes to the volume of locally‐made hours, local news requirements, and sharing local programming hours with the licences listed in the request, we were satisfied in relation to section 106(1A)(a) of the Broadcasting Act 1990 – that the changes would not substantially alter the character of service. This is because the proposals are consistent with our published localness guidelines. In addition, as a matter of general policy, Ofcom is content to approve Format change requests relating to localness obligations which are consistent with our published localness guidelines, and because we are satisfied that the licensee will continue to meet its licence obligations to provide local material relevant to the listeners in its licence area. Decision Ofcom decided to approve this Format change request from Channel Radio Limited because we were satisfied in relation to two of the relevant statutory criteria, and for the policy reason(s) outlined above.

Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands 1. Tindle MuxCo Channel Islands Ltd (‘TMCI’) was created to establish local DAB digital radio in the Channel Islands, with shareholders who have significant analogue and digital radio experience through broadcasting and multiplex ownership – Tindle CI Broadcasting Ltd and Folder Media Ltd. 2. Tindle CI Broadcasting operates the popular and successful local heritage commercial services in the Channel Islands – Channel 103 and Island FM – which consistently report the highest percentage reach figures in the British Isles, whilst Folder Media has considerable experience as a multiplex operator and content producer, having established the Now Digital and MuxCo networks, and currently managing the MuxCo network as well as multiplexes owned by Wireless Group and Bauer Media. 3. Tindle CI Broadcasting and Folder Media have been developing plans to bring DAB to the Channel Islands since early 2018, initially undertaking research of radio listening habits and digital take-up across the islands, discussing opportunities with Ofcom, and then formally announcing its intention to apply in November 2018. 4. Our ethos is that digital radio should be available in a cost and operationally efficient manner to enable as many organisations as possible to broadcast. TMCI will offer both DAB and DAB+. We believe this is the best way to encourage more stations to join the platform and provide a compelling proposition for digital radio listeners.
